Raw is in Greensboro, so Flair is already sneaking drinks backstage.
It's also a solid place to debut a couple guys from Puerto Rico as heels.
Could Jackref be in attendance?
I will be here.

-- Here is what’s teased in WWE’s latest Raw preview on WWE.com:
* WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will need a big show of dominance against AJ Styles and The Club if he wants to regain momentum heading towards Extreme Rules.
* The Vaudevillains have proven themselves as a legitimate threat to the WWE tag team titles, and the New Day will have to up their game after Aiden English defeated Kofi Kingston on SmackDown.
* After NXT star Dana Brooke made her debut on the main roster last week, Becky Lynch may need to find a tag team partner to even the odds against “EnD”.
* More in the brutal rivalry between Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose, with WWE teasing that Y2J seems to have his opponent’s number. They also teased the possibility of more involvement from Big Cass.
* Epico and Primo return to RAW and will have their “pick of the litter” as far as tag team opponents go.

I will say this. I'm watching this really wanting AJ Styles to win the title. They have got me invested in that.

Boy I do really hate how they have had AJ exit the ring twice while in the ring with Reigns. The Rock never did that as a face, nor Austjn, nor H, nor any other major face. I don't get how they are positioning him.

My point is I kind of know that but there are moments where I want it to happen so badly that I forget it won't. That's the feeling that I have missed a lot over the years. The idea of Styles winning is enough to consider me to buy the network this Sunday and that's the goal of the company, right? I might not watch another minute of Raw however haha. |

I don't get how they are positioning him. They don't want him to be the face. They're trying to discretely book him as the heel in an attempt to get Reigns cheers. It isn't working. On a side note, I'd again like to point out how much the bastardized version of "getting a response" is being used at top levels of WWE. Yes, the first goal of any performer should be to draw a reaction. But the refusal to turn Cena heel gave the bubble this belief that as long as the crowd is making noise, they did their job. No, you didn't. |

I CAN'T TELL IF IT SMELLS LIKE MIZ OR MARYSE'S VAGINA BACK HERE. BUT I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING, THEY AREN'T SHARING BATHROOMS. WE'RE GOING TO NIP THAT IN THE BUD BEFORE DONALD GETS GOING, PAL.

TELLING THE GHOST OF JIM CROCKETT ABOUT MY BATHROOM POLICY. CROCKETT PULLING A NOTEPAD OUT OF HIS POCKET TO WRITE IT DOWN LIKE A GENTLEMAN. WHILE A TRADITIONAL GENTLEMAN DOESN'T HAVE CATERING ALL OVER HIS SHIRT, THIS MAN IS A LEGEND, A CONSERVATIVE, AND WILL NOT ALLOW MIZ TO PICK A BATHROOM. FUCK YOU, HILARY.

Bullet Club vs The Usos tonight will be the 6th time since April 25th (looked it up) they've fought.
AJ doesn't stand a chance in hell Sunday, but I agree with Woodridge, they've gotten me interested & actually made me want to see it. This beats the shit out of Reigns/Big Show from last years PPV.
As much as I wanted Cesaro/Zayn, they can save it & this is a different tag match, something we haven't seen before in WWE. Hooray for a Steen-erico reunion!

Not gonna lie, I always wince whenever someone goes to the top for a double axe handle.
That Psycho Sid leg break is forever burned into my brain.

One of those two fruits looks a bit like the Latino Kenny Williams.

The travel agents Primo & Epico re-re-re-re-debut next. We'll see how long before this gimmick fails.
I give it a week.

I got to tell you I also really like the card. You have at least three matches that I think could be excellent. I really think I might watch even if I do find Raw boring still.
Also count me as one of the few that don't really care for Hallows and Andersen so far as WWE stars. They seem boring and easily replaceable.

I hope it's a way to get Carlito back.
That....that'd be cool.

I have no idea what you're talking about; their ratings should remove any doubt about my sincerity. |

No one liked The New Day after their debut. I mean, if after this match we went back to the studio to Gorilla & Heenan, then this would be just fine. |

Michael Cole called them Scott Jackson & Brian Kennedy.
But it's Corey Hollis & John Skyler. Know how I know? BECAUSE IT SAYS SKYLER ON HIS TRUNKS & CH ON HIS TRUNKS!!
Fucking Cole. So stupid.

I like the idea of these two taking on local talent and calling them tourists in their ring every week. Hope they continue to include "local talent" if this tag team runs for a bit.

No one liked The New Day after their debut. Very true, but no one liked Epico & Primo, ever. The only thing I liked about Los Matadores was the feud Torito had with Hornswoggle (Wee-LC was fantastic/hilarious). Aside from that, Diego & Fernando were terrible.
Before that, aside from Rosa Mendes shaking her big fake knockers, Epico & Primo were boring.
To think how over the top JBL was on commentary there, we all know it's Vince who is in his ear, so Vince is going batshit crazy about these two backstage.
